Carmen
Georges Bizet
Georges Bizet
'Full of clarity and vivacity, full of colour and melody', wrote Georges Bizet of his own score, and you'll find the same of Fitz Opera's production, presented in a mixture of sung French and spoken English and directed by Anne Sutton. Set in the urban Seville of the 1980s, Victoria McMullen as Carmen, Matthew Copeman as Don José, Jesse Brener as Escamillo and Annabel Davies as Micaela are supported by a Fitz cast and 14-piece orchestra (playing Jonathan Lyness's 'Tabacco Factory' orchestration) in the compelling and devastating story of the cigarette girl, the army officer and the toreador.
A mobile bar will be available for the purchase of interval drinks.

The Auditorium is fully accessible. You are advised to enter the College via the Storey's Way entrance, where there is both disabled parking and step-free access to the Auditorium. There is an accessible bathroom adjacent to the Porters' Lodge on arrival.
The Auditorium Foyer is on the ground floor and step-free. To enter the Auditorium, you can either use the lift to descend to the lower ground (there is an accessible bathroom here too), and access the theatre via the two doors either side. Because, in the event of a fire, the lift cannot be used, any wheelchair users on the lower ground will be directed to a specific step-free fire exit at the front of the stage.
To access the gallery of the theatre, attendees can enter at the ground floor level. Spaces can be made available for wheelchair users and any accompanying party.
